Question

Joe receives a weekly salary of $350 plus 10% commission on all sales. Last week, Joe had a total of $1,000 sales. How much total money did Joe make?

Answer 1

Given:

Weekly salary of Joe = $350

Commission of sales = 10%

Total sales of last week = $1,000.

To find:

The the total money did joe make.

Solution:

We have,

Commission of sales = 10%

Total sales of last week = $1,000

$\text{Commission}=10\%\text{ of }1000$

$\text{Commission}=\dfrac{10}{100}\text{ of }1000$

$\text{Commission}=100$

Now,

Total weekly income = Weekly fixed salary + Commission

                                   $=350+100$

                                   $=450$

Therefore, the total income of Joe for last week is $450.
